Ricardo is a really great host who quickly gives confidence. Everything is made to the experience in the favela goes as smoothly as possible. Great stay.

Adeline Saout2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

Rocinha wonderful experience! If you really want to discover Brazil, Brazilian and culture of Brazil, he must go to Ricardo and Rocinha. His apartment is perfect, the view is breathtaking, and the welcome by himself and his wife is just warm. In summary, one of the most beautiful experiences of life. With friends or family, this is to do as long as one is on Rio. Ricardo thank you for this magical moment.

Foudeil2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

Stay of 29 days with Ricardo, a great experience with a very attentive host to the well being of its guests, and does everything to make you feel at home. If you find someone to share your experience, then Ricardo is for you. At the neighborhood level, there is nothing to discover Brazilian 24/24 life, and it's a pretty safe area close to the main streets. Enjoy!

Aurélien2016-08-25T00:00:00Z

Ricardo and his family were great hosts to myself and two other friends while we made a film in Rocinha. Ricardo, Rosie and their son João were a delight to stay with and extremely helpful through the whole trip. At one point I had very bad food poisoning and Rosie looked after me, making sure I ate and had enough water. Thank you for everything! It's difficult to find a peaceful, quiet area of Rocinha, but if that's what youre looking for, Ricardo's apartment is the place to stay.

Joseph2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

If you want to think outside the box and live out the true as Brazilians do, you can choose Ricardo. Acceuîlli as a family member, the evening with his wife and child was excellent to put me at ease and learn the customs of the cariocas. Very friendly and available, data and information boards have been very helpful. WELCOME TO RIO !!!

THE HOUSE
The large, three-bedroom house is located at the top of Rocinha, with incredible ocean views both overlooking Sao Conrado from one side and Lagoa and Ipanema beach from another side. The house also includes fast WI-FI, a large, fully-equipped kitchen, an expansive living room area with many couches and a TV. On the floor above the main living area is a vast rooftop deck with an outdoor shower and lots of space to tan and relax.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Rocinha is Latin America's largest favela with 300,000 residents and much culture and fun to offer you. The community brings together residents from all ethnicities, dialects, and regions of Brazil. Yes, residents are generally low-income, and the community is often neglected by the government. Nonetheless, what people lack in financial wealth, they more than make up for in hospitality, authenticity, and resilience.
There's lots for you to do in and near Rocinha, including:
• Take a walking tour through a favela led by English-speaking resident-guides, catching a breathtaking rooftop view, descending through a maze of alleyways, and learning about favela history, culture, and everyday life
• Check out a Carnaval rehearsal by an official samba group representing the favela
• Rent a surf board and catch some waves at nearby São Conrado beach
• Hike up the Morro Dois Irmãos ("Two Brothers Hill"), and watch the sunrise, overlooking all of Rio
• Grab a chilled beer and salty snack at one of Vidigal's many botecos (bars)
TRANSPORTATION
There are public buses (each about $3.80 BRL) that stop within a 1-minute walk of the house. Passing every few minutes, this public transportation goes to the lively neighborhoods of Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana, Botafogo, and Leme.
THE HOST
Your host Maria, married mother of 5, is a popular resident of Rocinha, known throughout the neighbourhood as Mao Santa (Holy Hand), for her healing powers using natural remedies. One of her many contributions to the community include her recent work with pregnant teenagers between the ages of 10 and 16 who had been disowned by their mothers, seeking to repair the relationship between mother and daughter.
Maria also goes under the name and persona of Mulher Maracuja, or Pasionfruit Woman, to counter the materialistic and superficial Brazilian celebrity figures in a satirical way. Her project spreads smiles throughout various places in Brazil, hospitals, schools, NGO's etc.
With the money Maria earns from hosting with Favela Experience she intends to improve her home, send her children to better schools, get better health care plans for the family and open a non-profit eatery that provides meals for Rocinha’s many residents who receive treatment for serious diseases and are weak and unable to provide proper nutrition for themselves
SAFETY
Rocinha's 24/7 police protect the community as part of a government program introduced before the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In reality, tourists are safer in Rocinha than in some of Rio's most "touristy" areas. Unlike other parts of the city, you'll feel a real sense of community in the favelas, where everyone looks out for their neighbors.
You can maximize your safety if you:
• Don't take photos of people without permission
• Never use or buy illegal drugs
• Consume alcohol in moderation
• Listen to your hosts about safety

A great experience having been in the Rocinha favela with Elliot, largely fulfilled my expectations of what a good host, I can only be grateful to him and widely recommend it.

It is a cozy room with a large window and a small balcony where you can enjoy a sunny day!
The bathroom is shared with one guest.
Bed linen and clean towels are included in the offer!

Gávea is a quite and safe neighbourhood, a green area surrounded by trees and at the same time crowed with good restaurants, bistros, cafés and bars. Is a lovely place to walk around!

10/10, our favourite Airbnb so far in over 25+, we loved it! Highly recommend staying here I can almost guarantee anyone would like it. The room was large and spacious with high ceilings comfy bed, white sheets, towels and air conditioning. The house is beautiful I must say and the kitchen has everything you need and more too cook. It really felt like being at home... but better haha and being away travelling as long as we have it was like a dream stay compared to other Airbnb places. But... and a big but... the most important thing about this place and why it was so endearing to me and my fiancé was the people! Literally the loveliest and kindest most hospitable caring hosts ever you really can't ask for more? Wanted nothing more than to help you but aswel giving you your space. Alex is the happiest of guys and is so very helpful, we were incredibly great-full to him throughout as with his lovely mother iyda who even through the language barrier was incredible helpful and thorough in making you feel welcome and that you have what you need what with coffees n waters etc... amazing. Little Sofia we both will miss too as she was so adorable and beautiful. If your trying to decide on where to stay in Rio, cost wise and location this place is right next too the bus stop with a number of buses taking you everywhere you need to go and it is worth every penny for sure! We would stay again in a heartbeat and we wish everybody there all the very best for the future

Tom & Shivs'2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

I had a great time staying at Gabriela's place. The room is spacious , clean and comfortable. The house is located in a nice neighborhood, just 5 minutes away from the university (PUC). Gabriela was away but Aida and Vitoria were great hosts. I definitely recommend her place.

Daniel2015-10-17T00:00:00Z

We had the opportunity to meet Gabriela, only Maria who works in the house which provided us with the keys on arrival. We had no contact with anyone else during the two days we spent there. The space corresponds to what is described in the ad, One bedroom spacious, comfortable and clean. With clean sheets and towels available. Wi-fi and air conditioning (which is critical in Rio). The refrigerator was free for our use and the kitchen very well equipped and organized. The room we stayed in was facing the street and the noise of trucks and buses passing was constant. It bothered us a bit at night. The region does not have services nearby: bakeries, supermarkets, etc .... It is not near the beach. So who stay there will always need to use any means of transport to move. There is a bus stop at the door of the house which facilitates movement during the day. Already in the evening did not seem very safe. The house is very airy and comfortable, an old house but fully renovated. The region is heavily wooded and residential.

Marina2015-11-02T00:00:00Z

Lovely old family home. Gabriela and her mum Vitoria were sweet and helpful, I felt very much at home to cook my food, have interesting conversation and enjoy quiet time in my room. I really loved staying here. Thank you!

Sandie2016-02-10T00:00:00Z

Although very fast, everything was very quiet during my stay. I had a very warm welcome and the room is really very cozy.
